Emperor Chongzhen glanced at the countless soldiers of King Qin's army in front of the review stage. From their eyes, he suddenly understood what they were feeling deep in their hearts at this time.
To be honest, he didn't expect that he would win such respect from these soldiers!
But thinking about it again, it seems that it is natural to have such an effect.
If the previous emperors were so good to the army, then Emperor Chongzhen would not have such an effect if he did this. However, not only the previous emperors, but also the civil servants, how they treated the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can be seen from the payment arrears, not to mention other things.
In this way, when Emperor Chongzhen felt that this matter was not very special, it suddenly led to unexpected gains. Isn't it reasonable?
After reaching this conclusion, Emperor Chongzhen looked specifically at Cao Bianjiao, He Renlong and others. He found that these generals, like other soldiers, looked at him with reverence in their eyes.
Suddenly, something clicked in his mind. Before, he was worried that when reorganizing this King Qin army, it might not be so easy to get rid of the servant system and return it to the regular soldier system. But at this time, he felt that there would be no obstacles. That would be the best!
While Emperor Chongzhen was thinking about this, King Qin's army finally presented all the spoils of war.
There are rows of money and rat tails kneeling there, Jianlu flags are planted in front, there are gongs, drums and horns, etc.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" All the soldiers almost shouted loudly together.
Look, this is the contribution of King Qin’s army. Look, this is a gift to the Ming Emperor!
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Immediately afterwards, civil and military officials, as well as countless people of the Ming Dynasty, all knelt down and shouted in unison.
The military power of the Ming Dynasty is displayed here, and the emperor's prestige is overwhelming in everyone's hearts!
At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen was the only one standing in the world, and no one else dared to bow to him.
"Pingshen!" Emperor Chongzhen looked around, stretched out his hands, and said loudly.
For the first time, he felt that the emperor was the supreme king in the world. I have to say, this feels really good!
Following the emperor's decree, the officers and soldiers of King Qin's army, civil and military officials, and the people of the capital all stood up one after another. No one spoke, because they all knew that it was time for the Ming Emperor to speak next.
Emperor Chongzhen glanced around, and suddenly, he said something that no one expected. I heard him ask Lu Xiangsheng, the commander of King Qin's army: "Where are the injured soldiers in this battle?"
Lu Xiangsheng was stunned after hearing this. Those wounded soldiers were naturally in the military camp. This time the emperor led the civil and military officials to review the army, and there were countless people watching. Naturally, it was difficult for them to come out!
Although he was thinking this, Lu Xiangsheng immediately responded: "Your Majesty, everyone is resting in the military camp to recuperate!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he categorically issued an order: "The victory of the war was achieved by their desperate fighting. With their contribution, how could they not be included in this review! As long as they can carry out my will, they will be able to move." As long as their injuries are not affected, they all come to be read. I want to see it with my own eyes, and also let all the civil and military officials and the people of the capital see their efforts to expel the Tatars and save the people. They are all my Ming Dynasty A good man!"
Hearing this, the officers and soldiers of King Qin's army nearby, such as Cao Bianjiao, He Renlong and others, couldn't help but be surprised after being stunned for a moment.
However, before they could react, Gao Qiqian, the eunuch closest to the emperor, wanted to show off in front of the emperor in order to regain his lost Sacred Heart, so he reminded Emperor Chongzhen in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the injured soldiers are... It’s unsightly and doesn’t look good!”
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately reprimanded: "What's not good about it? Missing arms and legs? That's the proof that they fought for the Ming Dynasty. It's the front of their heroic fighting. What's not good about it!"
Having said this, he looked up at the generals and asked loudly: "Who is going to invite those soldiers who fought bravely to see them? They should have a share of the glory of this war!"
"The final general is willing to go!" Cao Bianjiao immediately responded loudly and excitedly.
"The general is willing to go!" He Renlong blushed and responded with clasped fists.
"The final general is willing to go!" Huang Degong responded loudly with a "pop" sound, clasping his fists hard.
"..."
Seeing all the famous military generals stand up, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and immediately ordered: "Okay, let the ministers bring some people to bring in the injured soldiers. I will wait here. Don't worry, don't let the injury be affected. !”
"The general obeys the order!" Cao Bianjiao and others responded in unison. Then, they greeted the equally excited Pao Ze nearby, and immediately left the reviewing stand and ran towards the military camp in the distance.
Seeing this scene, Gao Qiqian didn't dare to speak anymore, and smiled bitterly in his heart. The emperor did not act according to common sense, and he was flattered. If I had known earlier, it would have been better not to say anything.
While he was smiling bitterly, Lu Xiangsheng and others looked at Emperor Chongzhen with even more admiration. Because they all knew that the emperor had lowered his airs and won the morale of the army just by waiting.
The emperor's series of events will definitely make this Qinwang army go to the mountains of swords and the sea of fire for the emperor, and they will never frown!
After all, the emperor actually valued the injured soldiers so much. Who wouldn't like this for soldiers? Who is unhappy? Every soldier may be injured, and who doesn't worry about how to live after the injury?
However, now all these worries, at this moment, have been forgotten by them. Because they already know, so what if they are injured! The emperor attaches so much importance to it, how can things get any worse?
The civil and military officials further away and the people in the capital further away, because they did not hear the emperor's words, were confused about the soldiers of King Qin's army who suddenly ran towards the distant military camp. They didn't know what was going on and couldn't help but feel confused. Whispers started.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't care about this. Taking advantage of the waiting time, he got off the reviewing stand and walked towards the officers and soldiers of King Qin's army. He inspected them one by one, as if he wanted to keep every soldier in mind.
At this time, in the distant camp, the injured Ming soldiers were naturally not willing to lie in the tents. The injured soldiers who could move gathered around the fence of the military camp and looked at the grand event in the distance through the fence. Naturally, they were very envious in their hearts, and they all started chatting at the same time.
"This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a grand event. What a pity!"
"No, when have we, the top soldiers, been looked down upon by others? But this time, the emperor is reviewing, accompanied by hundreds of civil and military officials, and the people of the entire capital are watching. If we can stand like that, it will be enough for us in this lifetime!"
"Ah, I'm so unlucky. I was stabbed by a Tatar, so I missed such a good thing!"
"..."
Looking outside, their eyes were full of envy; they were discussing with each other, and they were all filled with regrets; in the midst of their discussion, one person looked at a tall and strong man and said: "I said Han Baihu, why don't you go? Your arm is injured, you shouldn’t be able to see it!”
Han Baihu, also known as Han Leyu, was shot by a Tatar in the Battle of Weihe. Gao Qingju helped him bandage it, but as a result, a lady from an official family, who didn't know much about this, didn't bandage it properly, so the injury was slow to heal. I thought it was nothing, there is a lady from the official family serving me, hehe, I am happy! Unexpectedly, I missed such a good opportunity.
When Han Leyu heard the question, he immediately yelled: "Actually, I'm fine. If you don't believe me, look, I'm fine! But the supervisor clearly doesn't believe it, because he's afraid that someone will find out and it will hinder the appearance of the army. Damn it! Look, ,It's alright……"
While he was speaking, he took away the bandage covering his injured hand and wanted to swing it to prove that his words were correct. Unexpectedly, this affected the injury. Although he didn't cry out about pain, he was still in so much pain that he couldn't speak. .
"Haha..." When the other wounded soldiers saw it, they all burst out laughing. At this moment, there was no distinction between them in terms of military rank. They could only have fun among the brothers and cancel each other out to lighten the excitement in their hearts. Pity.
Han Leyu put the injured glove into the strap again, and when he was trying to say something, he heard a wounded soldier shout in surprise: "Look, what's going on? Why are you running back?"
When Han Leyu heard this, he quickly turned around and looked. Sure enough, I saw a large group of comrades running towards the military camp. The leaders were actually the generals of the armies, which surprised him, as well as the other wounded soldiers. Everyone began to speculate, wondering what happened to the review ceremony?
There were two thousand of them, but no one thought about the real reason. They were all just guessing.
Zhou Yuji ran at the front. When he was about to reach the entrance of the military camp, he found that the wounded soldiers were watching behind the fence, so he shouted loudly: "Brothers, gather together!"
"Young men, get out of here!" He Renlong followed closely, shouting with a loud voice.
"..."
At this time, Han Leyu and others were stunned. What is going on? Why does it feel like there's going to be a group fight and you're calling your brothers back to the camp?
However, wasn't the emperor reviewing King Qin's army? How could such a thing happen?
But they soon no longer had to guess. After hearing the true intention of their comrades coming back, Han Leyu and the others were overjoyed when they came to their senses. No matter how much I thought about it, I never expected that the emperor would go out of his way to ask them to participate in this review ceremony, and said that he would wait for them!
What an honor this is!
As a result, the entire military camp, although there were not many people left behind, was boiling!
Those like Han Leyu who were injured in the arm were fine, but those who were injured in the leg were anxious, fearing that they would not be able to participate. There were even some seriously wounded men lying in the barracks who wanted to participate.
"Commander Sun, since the Emperor has made it clear that wounded soldiers can go, then my subordinates are also wounded soldiers, so why don't I let them go too?"
When Sun Yingyuan saw it, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, your injuries are too serious and you can't move!"
"Marshal Sun, this subordinate knows that he can't survive this injury. Why don't you let him have a moment of glory before he dies? Even if he dies, he can rest in peace!"
"..."
Similar conversations occur in all armies. Even if those seriously injured people knew that they were doing this, they would probably die faster. But the saying that ants are still greedy for life is not reflected in them.
Others may still hesitate, but Huang Degong rose from a low-level pawn to the position of general soldier step by step based on his military exploits. Therefore, he understood how important this opportunity would be to these colleagues! However, the emperor also said that it must be done without affecting the condition of the wounded soldiers.
For a moment, Huang Degong hesitated.
No one dared to keep the emperor waiting for too long. Soon, carriages drove out from the military camp, carrying wounded soldiers and rushed to review.
Seeing this, the civil and military officials and the people of the capital who were watching finally knew what happened just now. It turned out that they were going to bring the wounded soldiers.
But, is this good?
After returning from a great victory, what should be shown is glory. Doesn't this discredit the great victory?
However, no matter what others think, these wounded soldiers only have eyes for the Ming Emperor. If you can walk with wounded pawns, you can all walk by yourself. For example, like Han Leyu, of course he is not the only one. You can see that the upper body is more or less bandaged. But at this time, they were walking very impressively. If the white bandages were not conspicuous, who would have dared to regard them as wounded soldiers!
With the help of animal power, the emperor did not have to wait long. He soon arrived in front of the military formation, where there was a single phalanx of wounded soldiers.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he immediately walked over, looked at them one by one, and said in a sincere voice: "Soldiers, the glory of this victory also belongs to you! Your injuries are your military medals, and you are all The iron-blooded man of Ming Dynasty!"
At this time, there was actually no concept of military medals, but this did not prevent the injured soldiers from understanding military medals. When the emperor affirmed them in person, even a dignified man couldn't help but burst into tears.
The good soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have been waiting for this sentence to boast for too long! In the era when the rich and powerful were humble, I was desperate to wait!
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The only response to Emperor Chongzhen was this sentence shouted from the bottom of his heart. Although it was a ritual, it was sincere!
Emperor Chongzhen originally planned to win over this army. Only in this way can we truly take control of the military. Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be a bit of showmanship. However, at this moment, facing these simple military men, he was equally excited.
Who doesn't have hot blood in his body? Although he is an emperor and comes from a later generation, he still has no shortage of passion!
Emperor Chongzhen walked slowly, trying to imprint the face of each wounded soldier in his mind no matter how long it took.
These wounded soldiers, those with missing arms and legs, were all disabled because of Ming Dynasty. Ming Dynasty must not let them down!
While walking, suddenly, Emperor Chongzhen stood still and looked at several seriously injured people lying in the car. There were tears in the corners of their eyes, but their faces were peaceful, their eyes were closed and they were not breathing.
No need to ask, Emperor Chongzhen knew what was going on.
At this time, he secretly swore in his heart: The noble man is noble and the military is cheap? As long as I am here, I will definitely reverse this situation!
